Camp Half Blood: The Son of Eros

Bow and Arrow Shot

So after a long, awkward chat with Fredrick I got a briefing from one of the camp instructors. He  went through the ground rules and told me my timetable. Then I had lunch by myself and quietly headed to my first combat session, which turned out to be archery. Like I said before; I'm screwed. And to make matters worse, Fredrick's there too along with some scary kids from Ares and a load of smart jocks from Apollo.

We're all standing in a formal line in a field listening to the archery instructor talking about the basics of 'the bow' . Fredrick winks at me and waves from down the line.

Ugh, I wish he wouldn't do that..

"So, George, since you're new how about you go first?" The instructor awakens me from my day dream.

"Wha-what? M-me?" I retort, confused by his outrageous suggestion.

He nods.

I gulp and step forward, feeling like I'm about to be executed.

This is going to end badly... like really bad. I have never successfully shot an arrow and I don't think today is going to be any different.

I hold the bow tight and try draw the arrow. The arrow slips and snaps in half. The instructor hands me another one. Everyone else sniggers, well except Fredrick, he just batters his eyelashes at me.

Oh gods, this is not happening...

I drop the arrow several times and whack myself in the eye twice. Finally the instructor gives up.

"OK. That's enough... Sam you're up. Better luck next time , George."

Next time? If I have it my way there won't be a 'next time'.

*sigh* Well at least I didn't kill anyone by accident.

 A sarcastic comment from one of the Ares kids gets fired at me;"Nice work cupid boy."

I look up into the guy's eyes. He's strong and mean, the sort of person that you want to avoid if you want to keep your face in tack.

Another comment gets thrown at me from another Ares kid. "Ha, he can't even shoot, what an idiot.",

Again, he's mean looking but very stout compared to his friend. They laugh and glare at me fiercely. Their eyes burn into my soul,  I'm terrified, but then I realise their mistake;

MY CURSE! Oh gods, this is not good...
"WAIT-" I call, but its too late. 

Next thing I know they're all over each other, kissing, hugging, snogging and other things that you just don't want to see or hear.

Everyone gasps, shocked by the horrific love making show going on infront of them. I blush embarrassed but also slightly relieved to be free of the killer stares and nasty words. 

I can't believe this, I wish I could control my curse.
I don't understand! Why... Why!!?!?

"Calm Down! Boys what are you doing!?" The instructor shouts trying keep everyone under control.
Finally, he gives up.
-"CLASS dismissed!!!!"
We all leave, the Ares kids look astonished and most of the Apollo kids are laughing... Well except one. There's a girl looking at me.
She walks away with some other girls and smiles at me, giving me a cute wave.
Wow.
Who's She? And why haven't I noticed her before...
Her long brown hair gleams like copper in the sunshine.
Her pale skin so delicate.
Quite small, but very pretty.
She is beautiful.
...
"GEORGE!!!!" I'm knocked off my feet as Fredrick wraps his arm round my shoulder.
"So, guessing you have 'love sight' then?"
Fredrick asks.
"Yea... Pretty rubbish, how about you?" I sigh, defeated.
"Aha, no actually! But it must be horrible!!!"

I roll my eyes.
Well that's helpful, isn't it?
Goodness sake.
Oh well guess I'm alone.
...
But that girl.
Who is she?
She's probably out my league but still...
I want to know her.
